Learning to Live With Addiction at The Turning Point

Drug and alcohol addiction is a very serious disease, and it is not a new disease. In fact, it has caused suffering for millions of people year after year. What has changed over the years is the way drug and alcohol rehab centers treat their patients. When treatment plans, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, first began, it was simply a place to go for alcoholics to learn how to deal with their addiction. Today, treatment is so much more than learning to deal with an addiction. It is about learning a new way of life and leaving the addiction behind, not just learning how to live with it.

The Turning Point NZ are detox specialists, and their staff have well developed experience to guide individuals through the detoxifying process to eliminate drug and alcohol toxins from the body. They find that one of the principal obstacles to recovery is fear of the withdrawal process, so they provide a compassionate yet effective detox that can assist you to stop drinking alcohol or using drugs.

Integrity, collaboration, commitment and hope are the four values that are central to everything they do at The Turning Point. The Turning Point drug and alcohol detox centre offers a new level of caregiving in a small and focused people and wellness centre.  This centre was previously a family home which has been carefully and thoughtfully architecturally re-designed to cater for your needs, blending in warmth, safety, security, and appropriate privacy to maintain your dignity throughout the detox process.  

Residential treatment programmes can be very effective, and are highly structured programmes that can last from 28 days to 6 months. Residential rehab differs from other treatment approaches, principally in their use of the community treatment staff and those in recovery as a key agent of change to influence the guests' attitudes and behaviors associated with their drug or alcohol abuse.

The primary focus of a rehab centre is on the resocialisation of the person, to a drug or alcohol free lifestyle, and as the guest progresses the clinical treatment team will develop a continuation of care, so for the best route to continued abstinence and a healthy and happy recovery, and for more information on drug rehab centers and alcohol withdrawal symptoms NZ please visit the website at www.theturningpoint.co.nz .
